What if “sober” wasn’t a label to hide—but a vibe to celebrate?
In this bold new chapter of the podcast, your hosts Susan Larkin and Ruby Williams unveil the rebrand from Feel Lit Alcohol Free to Sober and Lit—and the deeper why behind the name change. Is the word sober finally being reclaimed? What happens when you stop whispering your alcohol-free life and start owning it, proudly and publicly?

Ruby and Susan get real about the evolution of their own sober identities, unpack the tension between terms like “alcohol-free,” “recovery,” and “sober,” and explore how Gen Z, wellness culture, and sober celebrities are reshaping the conversation. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the language—or wondered if choosing not to drink can actually make you feel cool, clear, and confident—this episode is for you.
